smooth. They contain seven very large
peas, each of which is half an inch long, nearly the same broad; and,
although they are not so closely packed as to compress each other, they
fill the pods well.

When sown the first of May, the variety will blossom the last of June,
and afford peas for use the 15th of July.

It is one of the best tall Marrows in cultivation. The ripe seed is
mixed white and olive.

NOBLE'S EARLY GREEN MARROW. _Cot. Gard._

A sub-variety of Bellamy's Early Green Marrow. It is a much more
abundant bearer; producing from eighteen to twenty pods on a plant,
which are singularly regular in their size and form.

PRINCE ALBERT.

Early Prince Albert. Early May. Early Kent.

Plant from two and a half to three feet in height, usually without
branches; pods generally in pairs, two inches and a half in length, half
an inch broad, tapering abruptly at both ends, slightly bent backwards,
and well filled; pea, when fully ripe, round, cream-colored, approaching
to white about the eye and at the line of the division of the lobes, and
measuring about a fourth of an inch in diameter.

Sown May 1, the plants blossomed June 15, and pods were plucked for use
July 6.

The Prince Albert was, at one period, the most popular of all the early
varieties, and was cultivated in almost every part of the United States.
As now found in the garden, the variety is not distinguishable from some
forms of the Early Frame; and it is everywhere giving place to the Early
Dan O'Rourke, Dillistone's Early, and other more recent and superior
sorts.

QUEEN OF THE DWARFS. _Cot. Gard._

A very dwarfish variety, from six to nine inches high. Stem thick and
succulent; foliage dark bluish-green. Each plant produces from four to
six pods, which are of a curious, elliptic form, and contain three or
four large peas. Ripe seed white, of medium size, egg-shaped, unevenly
compressed.

The plants are tender; the pods do not fill freely; and the variety
cannot be recommended for cultivation.

RINGWOOD MARROW.

Flanagan's Early. Early Ringwood. _Cot. Gard._ Beck's Gem.

Plant three and a half to four feet high, usually simple, but sometimes
sending out shoots near the ground. The pods are single and in pairs;
and, as they ripen, become thick and fleshy, with a rough, pitted, and
shrivelled surface: they contain from six to seven large peas, which are
nearly round, and about seven-tenths of an inch in diameter in the green
state
